Excited to share our latest paper from Dr. Jasmin Camacho 🦇🔬☠️🧠☀️ and Andrea Bernal Stowers Institute. It’s the labs first dive🐟 into mammalian biology, and the findings are sweet🌸🍯. We found that nectar🦇 tolerate the highest ever recorded blood sugar. Check it out! nature.com/articles/s4155…

What are the biggest global challenges in bat conservation? Excited to hear Dr Winifred F Frick’s expert insights at the 9 AM EBRS2024 keynote! She’s Chief Scientist at Bat Conservation International, Associate Research Professor at UC Santa Cruz, and our Bat1K steering committee member🦇 #EBRS2024



Exciting news! Starting October, the Rohner Lab will be Universität Münster where I’ll be taking the chair of animal physiology. It’s been an incredible 9+ years Stowers Institute working under Robb and A. Sánchez Alvarado. Looking forward to new adventures and opportunities ahead! Come visit!


Welcome to our department, and Cornell University CornellArts&Sciences, new faculty member @MollyCWomack!! as.cornell.edu/college-welcom…

Pleased that our paper on mammalian jaw evolution is out today in nature. First paper from James’ PhD arising from on-going collaboration with our friends and colleagues Pam Gill, Agustin Martinelli, Marina Bento Soares and Cesar Schultz. Thread 🧵👇

The Lauterbur EvoEco Lab at UVM Biology is recruiting Fall 2025 PhD students! Interested in computational evolutionary ecology and how animals adapt to pathogens, toxins, and other threats OR interested in hacking complex biological systems with creative code? Please reach out!


New paper on "Cenozoic climate change and the evolution of North American mammalian predator ecomorphology" from the paleo crew at UCLA (Aidan Howenstine Jonathan Marcot). Results reveal an unexpected functional shift among predators...For more visit: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Our partner Bat1k Genome Project is hosting an exciting workshop tomorrow at #NASBR2024🦇🇲🇽, generously sponsored by Paratus! Of course we will be there too, with Brian O’Toole giving a quick flash talk. Don’t miss this great chance to reconnect and chat with us!



New paper out! 🚨 We show that vampire bats use amino acids from a recent blood meal to fuel RUNNING - a rare mode of locomotion in bats ideal for stalking prey. I’d worry less about your neck and more about your ankles! 🧛🏻♂️ The Welch Lab Royal Society Publishing royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
